GET MALWAREBYTES!!! the fact is that it works. i was infected by antispyware soft an hour and a half ago, browsed for a solution and downloaded malwarebytes 20 minutes ago, now my computer is antispyware soft free. the best part is that it has a free trial version on their download site if your just looking for something to get rid of this problem specifically.

You got some nasty Malware and/or Spyware. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Super Anti-Spyware to a clean computer, copy the software to a flash drive or burn it to a CD/DVD, install both programs to your infected machine and let them clean out the Malware and Spyware.

restart ur PC & while restarting continuously click the F8 key. this will take you to a page with several options;using the arrow keys go up to safe mode with networking & click enter. new page opens to confirn click enter again. Once you are in safe mode download www.malwarebytes.org then update it & run it. this will remove the rogue software. You can then restart your pc normally & you will be fine

Before we get started, you should backup your system and your registry, so it’ll be easy to restore your computer if anything goes wrong.



To remove Antispyware Soft manually, you need to delete Antispyware Soft files. Stop Antispyware Soft processes:



[random]tssd.exe

Remove Antispyware Soft registry values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\avsoft

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\avsuite

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\avsoft

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\avsuite

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download “RunInvalidSignatures” =”1″

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings “ProxyOverride” = “”

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings “ProxyServer” = “http=127.0.0.1:5555″

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations “LowRiskFileTypes” = “.exe”

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments “SaveZoneInformation” = “1″

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “”

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “”
